Six Flags Over Mid-America opened in June 1971 as the third Six Flags park. Since renamed Six Flags Over St Louis,
it now claims to be Missouri's Coaster Capital.

It certainly has an impressive lineup of rollercoasters, including three woodies - one each
from CCI, GCI and PTC. Screamin' Eagle, the PTC woodie, was originally opened in 1976 as
the tallest, longest and fastest rollercoaster in the world. It still gives a superb ride,
and has been designated a Coaster Landmark by the American Coaster Enthusiasts.

Also of note is Mr Freeze: Reverse Blast, a Premier Rides LIM launch coaster, which propels
riders backwards around its layout, over a top hat element and up a vertical spike. Descending
back downwards, the train reverses direction to run back along the track, this time forwards with
riders initially plunging face first down towards the ground.

Although not the largest Six Flags park, Six Flags Over St Louis is one of the nicest in
the chain that I have visited. The park's atmosphere feels welcoming, and staff are genuinely
friendly. The ride lineup is great, and more than sufficient to entertain guests for a day in
the park.
